Department of the General Command of the Corps of Captaincies of Porto -
Coast Guard. "At the end of a truly
very difficult - said Mattioli - this news is the
most beautiful gift not only for the families of seafarers, who

italian and, in particular, for Confitarma that in all these months

key workers by allowing them a priority corridor both for
